Texans vs Jets Prediction

The week nine NFL schedule will kick off on Thursday night with a battle between the Houston Texans and the New York Jets from MetLife Stadium. Get ready for all the football action with our NFL Picks. The Texans (6-2) rank second in the league in total defense and hold a two-game lead over the Colts for the top spot in the AFC South Division. On Sunday, Houston built a seven-point halftime advantage and held on for a 23-20 home victory versus Indianapolis 

All-Pro QB C.J. Stroud completed 25 of 37 passes for 285 yards and a seven-yard touchdown to Tank Dell. Houston RB Joe Mixon contributed 102 rushing yards and a score. Stefon Diggs added 81 receiving yards for the Texans, who forced two turnovers on the afternoon.

The New York Jets are looking to snap a five-game losing streak and have been one of the most disappointing teams in the league. The Jets (2-6) have been solid on defense, ranking fourth in the NFL in yards allowed and limiting the opposition to 21.3 points per game. On Sunday, New York was outscored by nine points during the second half of a 25-22 road loss against New England. 

Braelon Allen scored on a two-yard touchdown run with less than three minutes remaining to give New York a 22-17. However, the Jets failed to score on the ensuing two-point conversion attempt. Veteran QB Aaron Rodgers threw for 233 yards and two scores. The Jets lost despite outgaining the Patriots by a 336-247 margin. 

Texans vs Jets Pick Analysis

Houston WR Stefon Diggs suffered a non-contact right knee injury and his status for this contest is uncertain. These are two of the better defenses in the league, so the under is worth a look. The stronger play is on the Jets to put forth a motivated effort and earn a desperately needed home victory. Final Score Prediction, New York Jets win 23-17.
